Are you still in Tuttle?

JPvelo Sun Nov 11, 2012 12:05 am

Will send my .010 on Monday. Do I need to send it with a prop?

Yes, Tuttle.

The more the merrier!!!!

I just purchased this gem on eBay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130799343973?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
If it gets here in time I will clean it up and send in just for fun.

Yikes Jim,

I don't have a crusty class.... lol!

Just kidding, that will clean up well. Good price too. It should arrive in plenty of time. I would be honored to run it up for you. You might even have time to try it out on your current build.

I forgot to mention this is all John's fault. Those Brits, kinda showy and they love to make a grand entrance by being fashionably late.

Just joking John!!!! I wouldn't dream of starting without you even though you offered. I bet the other guys feel the same way.

SO !!! THAT'S what that deal was last year with Indra's "Lost Sheep"! I was PLAYED !!!!!! Too windy to fly with my uncle today, so guess the .010 is gonna get blown out and fueled up for a test run up here on the hill !

Sounds good. Thanks for the update Ron!

Hi Rusty,
OK, I'll have to get a list together I suppose... BTW, I don't own any DIRTY engines...!
Cheers, Paul

Whatever you want to do is fine with me. My TeeDee's have been stored for many years, so a few extra weeks makes no difference to me... In truth if I wasn't so lazy, most all my TeeDee's would be for sale as I've really no use for them over here at all...
Cheers, Paul
Hey Paul, whenever you're ready to unload them, I'll be happy to take an .049/.051 off your hands, even if it's dirty and needs a good tear-down and cleaning. Maybe that would make it more affordable.

I should have known. No offense. I guess a clean one will do in a pinch. Smile

Alright, but please don't spend more time on it than any of the other ones. Smile

.010 for stock, .049 for unlimited.

**Cribbs74** Sun Nov 11, 2012 7:23 pm

It will be fine.......

pkrankow Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:16 am

So if I took a product engine and crank, swapped the cylinder/piston for a 049 tee dee cylinder and piston with spi and put a black widow tank assembly on it that would be stock?

If USPS figures out how to deliver a package I might consider sending it...

That would be a "Bee" engine, not a TeeDee. This particular race is for TeeDee engines only. The November race hosted by Kim and Travis is for Bees only.

That would not be considered stock. It would be in the unlimited class.

**Cribbs74** Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:27 am

Phil,

No, it wouldn't be stock. It also wouldn't be a TD..... Very Happy

Best to save that one for the Bee tach race here in a couple months. I would be happy to run it for you and get you numbers if you wish.

Ron

**Cribbs74** Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:28 am

Guess Matt beat me to it.......

pkrankow Mon Nov 12, 2012 10:33 am

My mistake. I will look for the Bee tach race in the future.

Hey Ron, do you have one of those blue aluminum test stands from Bernie? I can loan you mine if you want.

**Cribbs74** Mon Nov 12, 2012 11:54 am

No I don't Matt, Sure, it would be better than what I was planning on welding up. I'll help out with return shipping.

It won't work for the 9's and 15's, but I already have a stand for those.

Ron

microflitedude Mon Nov 12, 2012 1:39 pm

Sounds good!

Looks like I'm gonna need a bigger box... Very Happy

microflitedude Wed Nov 14, 2012 1:52 pm

I mailed my two engines and the mount today.

**Cribbs74** Wed Nov 14, 2012 2:04 pm

Sounds good Matt,

I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Ron

Jason_WI Wed Nov 14, 2012 9:45 pm

Engines on the way are as follows:

TD .010 Stock class
TD .020 Stock class
TD .051 Stock class
TD .049 Unlimited class
TD .09 Stock class
TD .15 Stock class
TD Special .15 Stock class
TD Special 15 MkII Stock class
Medallion .049 Stock class
Medallion .09 Stock class
Medallion .15 Stock class

Also included a Cox grey 8x4, 5x3, 4.5x2, and 3x1.25 props. Couldnt find any 7x4 props. Sad

Also included a blue test stand and a new glow plug clip.

The package is insured.... Shocked

USPS priority mail with a return shipping lable included in the box.

**Cribbs74** Wed Nov 14, 2012 10:30 pm

Wow!

I hope you insured that package. You may not get that MKII back..... Wink

I picked up some Cox 7x3.5 props in a hobby shop in PA a couple weeks ago. They are rubber duckies, but they should work fine

Thanks Jason!!!!!

Jason_WI Wed Nov 14, 2012 11:26 pm

Ron,

Also sending you something as appreciation for hosting and doing the TD tach race. It is in a separate package coming by USPS.

Jason
